Holiday Candle Lights
I see many people have the holiday candle lights in each window of the home
and I decided to buy some too. Each has it's own plug and knob switch on the plug, to turn on or off. I don't want to have to rewire my plugs to be switched or have to turn each one on individually. Nor do I have the ability to run all these outlets to one timer. How do (lazy - hehe) people do it? |

I have an X-10 unit in each room My computer turns them on and off. It
also dims them in the late evening so they stay on all night, but not at full brightness. -- Joseph E. Meehan 26 + 6 = 1 It's Irish Math "Billy" wrote in message ...

We use X10 stuff. Minimum 1 lamp module each room, or area (about $4-6 bucks
each if you watch for sales) 1 plug in controller (sometimes 2 for $10). From there you can go up to radio remotes and timers and stuff. Moves from house to house, can light the tree also, saves crawling around in the under the tree area. Cheapest automation per drop. "Billy" wrote in message ...

Where are you finding these devices so cheap? I checked out Samrthome.com
and they seem well above these costs. "TimS" wrote in message ... We use X10 stuff.

These are the very lowest level modules(2 'prong' dimming lamp) and
controllers (1-4, 5-8, 4 button mini controllers). X10 site will push different stuff everyday. They will also send you a E-mail everyday, of you wish. I'v also had good luck calling the guys and just asking "Can you deal on this?" Usually they can. "Billy" wrote in message ... Where are you finding these devices so cheap?

Can you provide a site that sells these units and is easy to understand ?
I'm having a hard time deciphering which x-10 device that I need at smarthome.com. I just want the most basic x-10 switch, transceiver and multiple receivers controller by that one transmitter, yet they have all kinds of special devices that range from $15 to $70.
